Highland Capital Partners

General Information
Location: 
Lexington, MA
Description: 

Highland is almost always the first institutional investor in the companies we back. Focused on building companies in the communications, consumer, digital media, healthcare and information technology markets.

 

We are a venture capital firm focused on building companies in the communications, consumer, digital media, healthcare and information technology markets. Founded in 1988, our strategy is to invest in exceptional people and provide them with the right mix of strategic guidance, management expertise, and hands-on leadership for building successful and enduring companies.

 

Investing in People.
We understand what management teams need and constantly seek to provide them with additional guidance for building successful and enduring companies. Making it easy for our companies to grow their businesses is part of what we do best. With $3 billion of committed capital and a proven track record, we are dedicated to providing insight, skills and contacts to build strong teams and world class companies.

 

Powerful Partners.
As experienced investors, we know that great companies are not built in a day. Focusing on our core strengths is the key to building a successful portfolio. Our in-house executives have operating experience in finance, marketing, recruiting and general management. These individuals are available to provide one-on-one coaching, review strategy and plans, and help open additional doors. They actively seek to identify and implement resources and programs our companies can leverage.

 

Experience. Knowledge. Support.
We continue to expand the quality and reach of our industry network and then connect our companies with industry leaders, customers, partners, technical experts, and best-in-class service providers. We recognize the value of experience and look to gather best practices and capture knowledge that can be shared across all Highland portfolio companies. Our goal in all these efforts is to succeed as partners with the companies we invest in.

 

Committed Capital.
Capital is the lifeblood of any organization. We recently closed our seventh fund, capping it at $800 million, and also launched a $300 million Highland Consumer Fund. These new funds bring Highland's committed capital to over $3 billion and will further drive the firm's focus on investments in the communications, consumer, digital media, healthcare and information technology sectors. Our capital comes from a committed group of investors, many of whom have decades of experience with the venture capital process.
